These are tools that I found most useful for me and my future classroom!

Kahoot!

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform that makes it easy to create, share and play learning games or trivia quizzes in minutes. This website is a fun way to get your class engaged in learning and reviewing for tests, quizzes, projects and more. I think this is a great way to see what the kids have learned and what they know. It gives them competition against others, so they try harder to get the correct answers.

Quizlet

Quizlet is an app or a website that allows you to create your own study guide. Within this platform, you are able to play games with the questions and answers you put in the study guide, and you are also able to do flashcards. Quizlet is an easy platform to create study guides for yourself or for future students, and I would definitely recommend using it!

Canva

Canva is an online graphic design platform that is used to create social media graphics and presentations. I think that this website is extremely helpful for teachers and future teachers in their classroom. This is because Canva allows you to create so many different kinds of things including classroom posters, checklists, presentations and more! This website could also be used by students for projects in the classroom. I would definitely recommend this website for personal and educational use!

Grammarly

Grammarly is a great website to help you with spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, engagement, detects plagiarism, and suggests replacements for the identified errors. This tool is extremely helpful when writing essays and doing projects. Sometimes when you reread your own work, you do not always catch mistakes that are made. With Grammarly, you are basically mistake-free! Grammarly is a free website and an app you can download on your phone or computer.

Google Jamboard

Google Jamboard is a digital whiteboard that allows for remote or in-person collaboration in a shared space. Students have the ability to sketch out ideas, problem solve, or draw collaboratively and synchronously. It is great for brainstorming -- gathering ideas, sorting them by color, organizing them on different frames, moving them together, drawing lines to connect important ideas, and etcetera. This is great for classrooms because all students can cooperate and collaborate at the same time on the same document.

Padlet

Padlet is a real-time collaborative web platform where users can upload, organize, and share content to virtual bulletin boards. Padlet can be used by students and teachers to post notes on a common page. The notes posted by teachers and students can contain links, videos, images and document files. With Padlet, you can create as many “walls” or online notice boards as you like. This website is a fun way to have students collaborate with each other at the same time and see others questions, answers, notes and more in real time.

Google Sites

Google Sites is a website builder. With this, you can build internal project hubs, team sites, public-facing websites, and more. This is a very easy thing to use! You can use it to create your own website, portfolios, and more! I think that this would be very useful in a classroom because teachers can use this as a one-stop hub for their students. You could put things such as homework reminders, important resources, syllabi, and discussion forums. I would recommend this Google website builder!

Google Docs

kayleeschwarz03_ — 2023-12-04 03:06:03 UTC

Google Docs is an online word processor that lets you create and format documents and work with other people in real-time. You can easily create documents such as essays, resumes, reports, letters, project proposals and more! This is great for a classroom because it allows multiple students to write, edit, comment on, and view documents. Students can share documents with the teacher for comments and editing suggestions. Students can also work on documents from anywhere they have Internet access. I would definitely recommend teachers to use this in their classroom!

Flip

kayleeschwarz03_ — 2023-12-04 03:12:06 UTC

Flip (formerly known as Flipgrid) is a free website and mobile app from Microsoft where educators can create safe groups for students to engage in curriculum using short video, text, and audio messages. With Flip, students can record, edit and share video assignments. This website and mobile app is great for classrooms because it is a fun way to allow learners of all ages to find their voices, share their voices, and respect the diverse voices of others. Flip students build and strengthen social learning communities as they discuss their ideas and experiences with their peers. I highly recommend this because it is a fun way to engage your students in activities!

ScreenPal

ScreenPal (formerly known as Screencast-O-Matic) is a tool you can download or you can use their website. It is very simple to use. This website/app allows you to record your screen, yourself, or you can show your screen and your face at the same time. I think it is really nice that you get the option to choose what you would like to present. You can present your whole screen or just specifically one tab. This tool will definitely be extremely helpful when I become a teacher!
